FILTER RESISTOR VALUE Vs SPEED THROUGH THE
APERTURE for FREEFALL & PHARMACEUTICAL

The table shows the standard range of detectors apertures.
The dimensions are shown in millimetres. To convert to inches divide by 25.4 and
round to nearest whole inch.
The speed is shown in metres per minute. To convert to feet per minute multiply by
3.2808.
The resistor values 68 to 750 are in K

.

The resistor values 1 and 1.5 are in M
